KENNY DALGLISH today spoke out amid the storm clouds gathering over Anfield and urged everyone to pull together to help Liverpool claim "three badly needed points" against Bolton this afternoon.

Reds legend Dalglish spoke out 48 hours after his name spilled from the Kop on Wednesday night during the defeat to Wolves, with thousands of angry supporters urging him to be installed as manager in place of under-fire boss Roy Hodgson.

Dalglish, currently employed as a club ambassador at Anfield, told the Echo: "Let’s just press the pause button and throw all our efforts and energies into one basket.

"Everyone – whether players, supporters, staff or whatever – has to throw everything towards the one aim and that is to get us three badly needed points from the game against Bolton today.

"Because if everyone sticks together we’ll have a better chance of getting those three points.

"Then if we want to have a discussion after that, we can.

"But the three points for the club is more important than any single person and how they feel.

"So let’s forget the issues today and concentrate on getting those three points."

Hodgson, who has now apologised to Liverpool supporters for any offence he unwittingly caused in his post match remarks on Wednesday night, has acknowledged that winning over the fans from the outset had been difficult given the affection they hold for Dalglish – who himself had hoped to be considered for the job himself after Rafa Benitez’s departure back in June.

Liverpool fans have several times this season chanted loudly for the 59-year-old Scot, who spent 14 years in total at Anfield winning six league titles, three European Cups and four League Cups as a player before guiding Liverpool as manager to three league titles, including a double in 1986.

He also won a fourth championship with Blackburn Rovers after re-entering the game following his shock departure from Anfield in 1991.

Dalglish, who was not present at Wednesday night’s game against Wolves, added: "It is about Liverpool Football Club right now – not about any individual person.

"If everybody does their job properly; if everybody sticks together; if the players excite the fans and the fans support the players and everyone is led in one direction, then we should get the result today.

"But without everybody being on the same page, it will make it a bit more difficult."
